mitt romney holds rallies in both ohio and iowa. and i want to take another look at those two polls that everyone is talking about this morning. they seem to paint different pictures of this race. the pew research center gives mitt romney a four-point lead over president obama. 49% to 45%. that survey did include more likely voters who identify themselves as republicans. however, the latest gallup tracking poll has president obama leading mitt romney 50% to 45%. this poll does include voters who were surveyed before the presidential debate which most voters say romney won though interestingly enough, it showed movement toward obama yesterday. all right. hard to keep track of. there's a lot going on here. cnn political reporter peter hamby joins us live from washington. please, peter, make sense of this for us. >> okay. these are the first two real credible polls we've seen since the debate. the bottom line here is there's movement in both toward mitt romney. you're right. the gallup poll had about three days of sampling before the d

it will be interesting to see what they do over the next several days with both the vice presidential debate coming up and the second presidential debate coming up. one of the thing that is the romney campaign has miscalculated is their definition of presidential -- they have seen this as aggressive and showing strong and might where presidential also means having temperance. having poise and having patience. that's what you saw previously not being applied with the benghazi situation before. let's see if they do it now because this is one of the first times last wednesday that governor romney looked presidential at a time where president obama did not. now, with these issues and the new details coming out, it looks even worse for the administration. and if governor romney and his campaign can take a step back and look presidential in a more holistic way, not only show the strengths in some of the tough talk they have been doing, but show poise and temperature rans with their approach as the details come out, i think it can play well for them and can go very well for them going into t

so i would say to both president obama and governor romney, remember the camera is on your face and, you know, regardless of what the question may be, do not look impatient, do not smirk, do not sigh, do not laugh and remember the questioner's name. you know, not only do you have to connect with each other, connect with the audience at home but connect with the audience in that room and the folks asking the questions. >> the poll numbers we're seeing really demonstrate it is a close race and that the stakes are really big and i think that, you know, we say this a lot but i think the next eight days in this race will really be, you know, the most important eight days with the debate, tuesday night and then the next -- the final debate, the proceeding week, i mean i think we're in a period now where the next president is going to be decided and it does seem to be very close in statistical dead heat. so ana, we asked you about taxes, right? will we get any more details from mitt romney on taxes? you said no and congressman ryan has actually asserted that, in fact, we will not get any mo

both candidates were asked about their stance on abortion. they gave very different answers, as you might imagine. well, we know that romney's position has long been that abortion should be legal in cases of incest and rape. well, ryan's past position on this become an issue at all? >> reporter: you know, certainly democrats try to, particularly when the whole controversy with todd akin, a republican is not candidate exploded because ryan in congress had signed on to very, very strong anti-abortion language, legislation, but when it came to the abortion question last night, i think what you were going to play was the fact that ryan really towed the romney line saying that the romney/ryan tickets believes that abortion should be illegal except in cases of rape and incest and the health of the mother. i think we have the sound bite, if we want to listen. >> i understand this is a difficult issue, and i respect people who don't agree with me hon this, but the policy of a romney administration will be to oppose abortion with the exceptions for ra
